A multi-millionaire bachelor has revealed he has spent more than $65,000 on matchmaking services and still can't find his ideal wife.
Former Wall Street trader Larry Greenfield, from Long Island, New York, has used six different agencies over the last 12 years in his quest to meet the perfect woman.
He's been on dates with 250 women but, so far, without success.
Now the unlucky in love 47-year-old is claiming the expensive dating services are a 'rip-off'.

Larry Greenfield has been looking for a bride for the last 12 years by using six different dating services with no luck
But the matchmakers claim Mr Greenfield wants women who are simply out of his league.
Mr Greenfield, who retired after a successful career at Opus Trading in Jericho, Long Island, says he would gladly trade his riches in exchange for finding love.
But the lucky woman needs to meet his exacting standards. She must be ...

Imagine a Jewish mother, picture someone who looks and sounds like the mother of George Constanza from Seinfeld describing her beloved son whom she thinks is the best catch as a husband, and she is describing him to the mother of a young Jewish girl that she desires as a wife for her son...

In her shrill, grating voice she will say, "Oy, he is such a mench!". And the meaning is that he is just a nice, softhearted, gentle, kind, and GOOD man. In other word, he is a mench.

"Ahh, he is such a nice man" :dreamy eyes:

Eww.. That's why that definition got 314 vs. about 40 . That is not what a mench is. Only the first definition there is somewhat correct, but doesn't express the "essence" of Mench. Which is a nice kind man.

Google translate from German to English, Mensch is man, human, human being.

I first heard the word "mensch" when I was starting to learn German as a kid. Never quite heard of the mench iteration of it before, but hey - if it's on urbandictionary then it has to be correct ..... right?

__________________

The word "there" can appear as a pronoun, as in “over there".

"Their" is a possessive pronoun. In a phrase like “Susan and Bill's car,” it could be used to to make a new phrase: “their car.”

”They're” is a contraction of “they are.”
“They are” should always be able to replace “they're.”

Extra credit: It's "I'm looking for an M3" not "I'm looking for a M3".

It's a very common and well known word in NYC, as a few of the more colorful words found their way into the everyday language. "Schmock" is one example that is well known, it's literally means a "dick", but in everyday usage it means someone that is not exactly a dick.

So mensch is not exactly the translation from German (human), but the usage in Yiddish took the meaning of something like "a really good human being". But someone who has a good heart.

Anyway, I used mensch in the title as a tongue in cheek. He might be a mensch but he probably also a schmuck.

Having grown up on LI, I've known some people like this, this guy just happens to be the uber version. When the OP used "mensch" I figured sarcasm.

One of the guy's wishes I can understand -- many of my Jewish friends were looking only for a Jewish mate. As I grew up Catholic, there was family pressure to marry in the faith and for a lot of Jews there's the same pull.

(The joke among my Jewish friends when we were growing up: "The goyim are for practice!")

He had his office in Jericho and lives in Plainview. His muter must live nearby.

You're right, he should be in the City -- and women in NYC are going to look at someone who lives in Nassua Co as living in the sticks.

I grew up in Farmingdale. Plainview is one town over. It's nice there but solid burbs.

Looked a bit long in the tooth when I was there this summer after being gone 30 years.
The A&P supermarket building - which had closed a million years ago - was still there and empty.
The movie theatre had become chopped up into offices and downtown was overall kinda dingy.
Bethpage State Park and golf course is right there.
